Danielle Dauphinais, 38, will plead guilty Thursday to second-degree murder and two counts of witness tampering in the death of her son Elijah Lewis.
A New Hampshire mother accused of killing her 5-year-old son is expected to plead guilty on Thursday morning.
The child was discovered missing and found dead in October 2021 in a Massachusetts park. An autopsy showed he suffered facial and scalp injuries, acute fentanyl intoxication, malnourishment and pressure ulcers. Prosecutors said Elijah was starved, neglected and physically abused. During Stapf's sentencing, they read a series of texts between Stapf and Dauphinais that expressed hostility toward Elijah.
Prosecutors said that when Elijah was found, he was 3 feet tall and weighed 19 pounds, while an average 5-year-old boy would be about 3.6 feet tall and closer to 40 pounds.
